贰厂厂础鈥� U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is approving plans that fly in the face of the Every Student Succeeds Act鈥檚 protections for vulnerable children, according to more than a dozen civil rights groups, including the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.

The groups sent a letter Tuesday to Democratic and Republican leaders on the House and Senate education committees asking them to tell DeVos to stop approving “unlawful” plans.

This is far from the first time that the civil rights community 鈥� and Democratic lawmakers 鈥� have questioned DeVos鈥檚 approach to plan approval. The Alliance for Excellent Education, one of the 17 groups that signed off on the letter, put together a legal brief questioning whether some of the plans that DeVos has approved meet ESSA鈥檚 requirements. And both Murray and Scott have written letters to DeVos saying she is flouting the law. ()
